While Thorok, Agency, and the rest of the troupe finish up talking to Dacklow, Ackamgets up from his stump, stretches a little, and then takes a short stroll through the small fishing town. He puffs away on his pipe and does a little of window shopping until he comes across a dry goods store. He taps out his corn-cob pipe on his boot and enters in. He looks for any of the following items:
-Chocolates or any types sweets -Dry socks -Box full of lemons -Teas -Fresh tobacco
And when done purchasing those goods he'll meander over to where he can buy some liquor and there looks to try to buy the following:
-A few bottles of rum -A few bottle of brandy -A fe bottles of absinthe
After he's done purchasing what he could, Ackam will meet the rest of the crew back at the ship. He'll try to spend no more than 15 gp on everything.
Ackam manages to find the chocolate, socks, tea, and tobacco at the general store. There’s only the local whiskey and some of the vodka that Clovis makes available alcohol wise, though. Balon’s Rest doesn’t have much of a selection in that regard.
As you leave Balon’s Rest heading back to the Gull’s Wing you pass through the quiet town. There’s the dry goods store with its shelves stocked with provisions for locals and sailors alike. Red’s Tavern is subdued as you walk past a few stumbling and disoriented people are milling around, porobably on their way home from Red’s. You walk past a small church to Jocoust, the god of seas and sailor which seems to have fallen into a state of disrepair. You see a few more of the drunks weaving their way around by the church as well. As you approach the ship Issa is on his feet and waves to you. When you get closer he says I trust you found what you were looking for? If we leave now we can be back in Olber tomorrow night!
Ackam takes his dry goods, and does buy a few bottles of the local whiskey, and walks towards the ship. He shakes his head at the crumbling church, but continues towards the ship, weaving his way throw the stream of sailors heading home. When he see Issa from a distance he waves his hand "oye, Issa, it's good to see you're up an' about." Ackamwalks up the gangplank and drops the bags of dry goods and whiskey next to Issa. "I brought gifts for ya and da rest o' da crew. Me and me groups way of saying danks and all."
Ackam grabs one of the bottles of whiskey and a pair of dry socks, and walks back to see if Bael is ok. Upon seeing Bael he walks over to the halfling first mate and hands him the whiskey and dry socks. "I thought dat dese would help with da healin'. If ya want I can werk by ya side till we get ta Olber, if ya still feelin' a wee wobbly from da poison."
Bael smiles at Ackam Ya read my mind, friend. And I wouldn’t say no to ya working with me, not cause I’m still shaky, mind, but just cause I like the company.
"Like teh sea in storm is my heart at...sea," Earthhand finishes his statement lamely. "Avast, and back ter Olber." He walks shakily forward back onto the deck of the Gull's Wing, giving Tibus and Jayce a nod. "Any changes ter our half-folk friend?"he asks Mikkael.

Tibus cracks his massive knuckles and laughs A couple of shark bites? Pshaw, nothing a couple pints and a long nap couldn’t cure. Here, ironsides, stick with me and you’ll be acclimated in no time. Tibus takes and begins casting off, showing the construct what how the process goes. Before long you’ve set sail back to Olber, Balon’s Rest shrinking in the distance. Once the trip is under way, a lamb stew is served, with dark bread and cheese. Again, Bael takes out his fiddle and begins playing. Everyone sings a long for a while, Tibus domstrates a a ceremonial battle dance of his people, stomping his hooves and leaping about the deck. After the dance one of the ships cats comes on deck and begins rubbing against Bastion’s legs. Bael cracks open one of the bottle of whiskey and begins passing it around.
Feel free to describe what you do during the evening before catching some sleep.
After helping Bael work the ship Ackam grabs a bowl of lamb stew and makes his over to his hammock and quickly scarfs it down. Between fighting, running around a fish town, his ass still hurting, and the itis from the lamb stew Ackam dozes off for a quick cat nap, but is awoken by Bael's fiddle playing and Tibus's dancing. He packs his corn-cob pipe with the remains of kenobi Thorok shared with him, lights it, and takes a couple of big puffs, and watched the clouds of smoke get quickly swept away by the sea winds. He stays quiet throughout the evening, except to make sure the crew got the gifts he bought them. Ackam shares in the whiskey when it comes to him, but only takes a little nips. He wants a good night sleep before their dealings in Olber.
Thorok spends his time puffing kenabi from his pipe, using druidcraft to lazily enchant his exhalations with various colors and shapes. He enthusiastically pounds his staff on the deck in rhythm with Bael's playing, and savagely wolfs down his portion of lamb stew with the predatory efficiency of a lifetime bachelor. Sipping the whiskey in earnest and producing a handful of goodberries and munching on one, it isn't long before the dwarven druid is curled up in the furs of his wolfpelt cloak, snoring loudly.
The hull of the Gull’s Wing knifes smoothly through the water. You wake to the sun already high in the sky, the crew having let you sleep on account of you all needing the rest. It’s just about 10 in the morning and you’ve got another 8 hours of so on the voyage.
This is a point we can flashback to if you guys want to do anything while on the ship. If not we’ll just continue on to Olber.
It is early evening as you tie up at the dock in Olber. The crew thanks you for your help and your gifts. Issa shakes your hands and says We are in your debt, if you ever need passage somewhere, or any other help we can provide, don’t hesitate to call on us. Nimbus can always get a message to us. We’ll stay in port for a few days, I think, rest up and look for some new crew, feel free to drop back by and see us. Safe travels and all luck to you, until we meet again.
"Oi appreciate tha' Issa my new friend. May teh next time we call upon yeh be what due ter a thirsty throat aen a song in our heads wit' no deck ter stomp on nor folk ter dance with."Earthhand smiles heartily before growing solemn, and he clasps the dried holy sprig on his chest as it bursts into red bloom. "Foive spirits o'er all o' yeh, mind teh sea aen sky."

Slight scratching noises can be heard for a moment followed by a soft thud as Aedra plops herself over the far side of the ship.Dripping from head to toe, but also beaming.The night makes it seem as if her eyes have lost their color, and her teeth almost look like they have been sharpened.Our girl’s looking a bit cray right now. You guys!The craaaaaziest shit just happened!I felt, like, this weird pull?And I knew for some reason I had to follow it.Fast forward, I end up in these sick looking ruins and have to make it through all of these booby traps to get to the inner chamber of this ancient stone complex.Friggin booby traps!At the end of it all, I find this… She whips out a fancy-looking stick.With closer examination you can see there are strange runes on one end, and swirly designs on the other.I’ve got no idea what it is.Or any idea what those mean… But it’s pretty… She looks around at everyone, sorry I was gone for so long!I hope you didn’t miss me too terribly she says as she shoots Agency a wink.
Seriously tho, sorry I didn’t post!I totally meant to while I was gone but we were on the go like 24/7.I went to Disney World with my parents for my birthday :D
Agency reciprocates Aedra with her own wink. I wasn't worried at all. Infact, I dread to think of what happened to whatever dared to stand infront of your missles and quick thinking.
Before we leave, why don't we check with Jayce about that fancy stick you have there. She walks up to Aedra and pats down some stray licks of hair, doing her best to keep at least some of the cray at bay. We'll be two more seconds. She tells the group.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ackam and Bael both shake hands as their journey comes to an end. "Yer a fine first mate, Bael. Ya make me miss working with da sea," Ackamsays. When Issa finishes his goodbyes Ackam goes over and shakes his hand and says, "and da same goes to you and yer crew. If ya ever find yerself a man short just come a hollerin'."He then slaps Issa's shoulder and heads down the gang plank.
Off the boat Ackamlooks around for Nimbus and also keeps an eye out for anyone or thing following Nimbus if he does catch a look at the Tabaxi.
BASTION warmly bids farewell to everyone on board and spends a small amount of time playfully chasing it's new cat friend around the hold.
As its thick metal feet hit the solid earth, BASTION's body has trouble maintaining equilibrium and it stumbles a bit. A wave of dizziness bringing up the wholly undigested Grass Vodka that it had stored in its throat.

"I should try to acclimate myself to the environment - if you require any assistance on deck... I will try to make myself useful."
A small nervous shift in posture betrays BASTION's statement, but he remains firmly on deck.
